Yes, today was the day I had to really feel the pain of letting my baby go off to "school" Oh my goodness... it was tough.. Thankfully I had plans with friends just about the whole time she was there and that kept me distracted! (thank you.... ) and I have a friend that teaches the 2 year olds that checked in on her and sent me a text telling me she was fine, whew! I refuse to be one of those moms that call, not that there is anything wrong with that, to check in but it was wonderful to hear from Ms Christy that she was just fine.. :)
They do get a "report card" type thing telling of their day, how they behaved (or didn't), how much they ate and nap time... Annabelle did well.. she was "Cheerful", "sociable", "energetic" and "sweet"... Her nap time was "restless" but I was told she was close to falling asleep.. I was also told that there was one child that wasn't happy and cried and jumped in the crib during nap time... might have had something to do with her not napping... I am sure she'll get used to it.. She ate "some" of her lunch... I was concerned about this as they don't heat up food and she typically eats heated food such as pizza and chicken nuggets... I packed her corn, yogurt and mandarin oranges... I am not sure what "some" really means so Thursday, I will ask.. :) She made a very cute red apple picture which I plan to make a folder to keep all of her "crafts" in... (as well, send some to the grandparents...) When I went to pick her up, the teachers aid came out to talk to me ... I am sure she knew I was freaking out a tad and wanted to let me know how great she did.. she actually said Annabelle did better than most all of the children on the actual first day of school.. I give that to the fact that on that day, they were all freaked out and they probably fed off each other... or I could just give it to the fact that ANNABELLE IS BRILLIANT!! haahahahahahaha.. kidding.. :) sorry, I had to... Above is a video of my interviewing her after picking her up from preschool... oh, I forgot to mention, just as the moms were getting there to pick up the kids, Annabelle decided to go potty and took her diaper off and peed... on the floor... so, I guess she isn't perfect.. just really really close.. hahaha...
here are a few photos from before
and after school... notice the change of pants.. (she didn't quite get pants off before peeing, haha)
I, while Annabelle played, went to a tour of homes in Hopkinsville, KY.. It was nice to get out with the girls (5 of us in the car getting lost) and to have adult conversation without distraction! we saw the 5 homes and then had lunch at one of the realtors in the area.. a very sweet lady who very generously did this for the military spouses.. there were door prizes and I won one! a very cute BDU purse with "HOOAH" it is an army thing embroidered on it! It was more geared towards the 101st so I was happy it didn't say Screaming Eagles.. It was also filled with cute fall goodies... (lunch was good too)
Tonight we just hung out and she went to bed early... (like an hour early) because of no nap.. she didn't mind so I didn't either! :)
Tomorrow is kindermusick... I had to switch from Tues to Wed so this will be a group of new faces for both of us...
Today as well Amber had an appointment and baby A is just perfect! Amber is measuring 29 weeks, but has been 2 weeks ahead the whole pregnancy.. baby's heart rate is 154 and apparently baby likes to move around as Doc had a hard time getting the rate... she kept kicking the monitor! haha.... She is head down already but we know that can change... Amber feels great... has gained only 14 pounds and has no issues like with Annabelle.. no contractions, no swelling, no pain and good blood pressure... A wonderful pregnancy.... She did have to the gestational diabetes test today which from what I hear is pretty horrible... (drinking some super sweet stuff that makes you sick) We should know the results next week sometime so pray the result is negative.. :)
I am going to go sit and relax...
Please pray for our soldiers... and their families..
Love to you all!
